Random Tuesday, Tuesday Random

So, I’ve been battling a headache since Sunday.  Seriously, three frakkin days of pounding inside my skull.  So far I haven’t gone beyond the recommended Advil dosage (and on to, say, the entire bottle), and what I have taken hasn’t had much effect.
This, as you might imagine, is annoying as hell.
Coupled with the fact that [...]

The Problem…

…with watching all of “The National Parks – America’s Best Idea” for a solid week is that it makes one really, really want to quit one’s job and hit the road.
I can only imagine what would have happened if they’d aired the show in the spring, near the beginning of tourist season, rather than now, [...]

Watching This Is Definitely The Best Idea

(This seems perfect, as I’ve been talking about Kings Canyon all week, and I wanted to make sure that you all knew about this before the weekend.)
Back in March I attended a pretty cool event.  I had multiple tickets but, unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts all those I invited were unable to attend the event [...]

We Briefly Interrupt Your Nomally Scheduled Blogging…

…to bring you the following announcement:
Chuck got renewed!  I should get Subway for dinner tonight.
Oh, yeah, and Obama did something regarding upping fuel efficiency on cars but, you know, whatever.

Well..

…at least I’m not the only one!  *grin*
Great television like BSG doesn’t come around all that often.  I wish it had lasted longer, of course, but I’m glad it was allowed to come to a conclusion.
The geek side of me though is really gonna miss it, though.

I Love “Dirty Jobs”

I love “Dirty Jobs.”  And not only because it makes me just a little bit more thankful for my own job.
Not only because Mike Rowe treats everyone he works with with respect, no matter the job.
And not only because Mike Rowe is damn funny and self-deprecating.
But because, chances are, only on “Dirty Jobs” will you [...]

Missing That Part Of My Childhood

I mean, Drew Carey is all right and all. He’s definitely doing his best to maintain the same vibe, right down to the “spay and neuter” message at the end of the broadcast.
But, dammit, I miss Bob Barker. Which I was a kid, at home alone with a cold, that hour of Price [...]

But I Watch Anyway

Tonight I watched the second debate between the candidates. It went about how I expected it to go.
Every four years I find myself watching the debates. This happens even though for the last few election cycles , as it is with this one, my mind is generally made up ahead of time. [...]

Did Anyone Notice?

Did anyone happen to notice last Sunday that “John Adams” pretty much ruled the Miniseries categories at the Emmys on Sunday?
Can I pick ‘em, or can I?

Please Stand By…

So I’m back in town from my extended Labor Day weekend. Yet, I feel like I have nothing to write.
Or perhaps I’m simply not feeling that inspired.
